Abstract: A dispensing system responds to reading data stored on a container by determining a dose for a chemical stored in that container. Then each time that the chemical is to be fed into a cleaning machine, the dispensing system operates a flow control device to deliver the designated dose. Thus the dispensing system is automatically reconfigured when different concentrations of the chemical are supplied to the dispensing system. Various mechanisms for storing the data on and reading the data from the container are described.

Abstract: A laser spectroscopy system is utilized in an atomic vapor laser isotope separation process. The system determines spectral components of an atomic vapor utilizing a laser heterodyne technique.

Abstract: A heterodyne laser spectroscopy system utilizes laser heterodyne techniques for purposes of laser isotope separation spectroscopy, vapor diagnostics, processing of precise laser frequency offsets from a reference frequency, and provides spectral analysis of a laser beam.

Abstract: The invention comprises a novel method for lubricating and cooling mechanical seals, particularly those seals used in a vertical drill box system. Specifically, the invention utilizes the driving force of the rotating gears in the gear box to convey fluid to an otherwise inaccessible upper seal face. Cooling and lubricating the seal in this manner insures that the various rubber portions of the seal are not degraded by excessive heat. The invention can be utilized in any application requiring sealing of gearing mechanisms from environments containing large amounts of dust or other debris. A preferred application is in mining equipment.
